Welcome to Gaia! ::

He pulled her hair, which made her move involuntary. She moved back a bit, her arm threatening to collapse but some how she knew if it did, he would catch her. He was up to something and Ishira ran any kind of attack through her mind. He could be moving her so hed get a good punch into her gut, as probably payment for her knee in his. That made her nervous, and also made her curse that she had such long hair. The pull though hadnt shot explosions of pain in her head, no she was too close to him for that. With her body so close to his, it was hard to even think of pain, well... not the bad kind. Her body did ache, but now because of the training. Ishira mentally shut off those thoughts for the moment and tried to struggle, kicking her legs as she screamed out and then dug her nails on her free hand, into his arm. He did the one thing that she didnt expect, nor wanted... Or did... He kissed her. His warmth was suddenly very there and no longer just a hint. Heat filled her body with each second that his lips were on hers. She was shocked but automatically kissed him back, and started to wrap her good arm around his neck. She stopped though, as if realizing something and coming to herself. There was emotion, that not only gave her hope, but scared her as well. It was like a spell, and Ishira couldnt trust that what she was feeling was what really was there. She wouldnt become Ally... Doing this was making her into that girl. <******** you.. Go to hell Neko!" She narrowed her eyes and looked straight at him. So much of her wanted this to be true but she refused to give into it. She may have wanted him, but she wasnt up for playing games.

Ishira closed her eyes tightly and tucked her head into her neck as she moved away from his kiss, and what she didnt realize, his attacked. The blow litterally sent her into seeing stars. He had gotten her right on her hair line, and it sent lights of different colors into her vision along with the remindered of pain. Ishira scrambled, unable to see, and moving her bad arm so that she was further away from him. Her hands went to her head as she blinked over and over. She needed to get away, now. Kicking and throwing her hands up to hit at Neko, she squirmed and tried to find where he was just by touch. She couldnt hear, because now her ears were ringing with such a high pitch noise that her eyes were contiuely squinting. She threw her knees up and pushed herself further up so that she could wrap them around Neko. ******** it, she had a busted arm, but shed try to throw him over and get on top of him, even if she couldnt see.

Ishira was hit, and each hit hurt worse then the last. When he sqeezed her, she lost her breath and with the pain couldnt take another. She quickly remembered the technique he had shown her in the water, before letting out a fierce cry and emptying her lungs completely. She slammed her hands down and whether or not they met Nekos hand or shoulders, she didnt care. She needed to stop him and being on top of him was going to give her and advantage, whether or not he wanted it to. She knew her knees were going to be raw if not bleeding by the time they stopped moving because the ice felt like knives cutting into them. Would it be the same for Nekos back? She doubted it. Blinking multiple times, she tried to get her sight back, but was barely making out the outline of Neko. And the pain! Again the pain was so unbelievably powerful, and it demanded that her body needed to shut down. She wouldnt let it, and she fought it, which made the shaking start up again. She needed to do something, think of something... Like..

Anger. Her anger, her hate. She hated what he had done, she hated that he could call a life into her body when she didnt want it there. She hated the heat, the want, everything. And he purposely pulled it out.
"Your such an a**." She hissed, as she took in a breath and stopped using her soul light. Narrowing her eyes down at him, she wondered where they could go from there. And then she thought about the kiss, the game, everything but her pain.

Though the ringing in her ears was dying down, it was still there, and she could only make out a few things. First there was a crack, and she was startled. She lowered her eyes down to her arms, making out the outline of them. Had her arm broken fully and she couldnt feel it? Her thoughts went to her pain and though her head felt like a battered mess, her arm felt the same, with the exception of a small increase in pain. She figured that was due to the fact she had suceeded in her last attempted to detain Neko for a short time. Ishira looked at his face, starting to see his features and giving him a confused look. What had cracked? Nothing on him right? She didnt see anything that showed any signs of new pain on his face... It started to bug her and then she heard the groan. Ishira felt the ice shifting under her as lines formed under her knees. She hadnt thought she had put that much power into slamming him down, but apparently she had been wrong, while he had been right. It was working...
"Great... back into the water again?" She complained, because there wasnt anything she could do. She was human, she couldnt call her wings to lift them from the ice, she couldnt stop the ice from breaking. If she moved, there was a large chance the ice would just cave in. So what to do... Ishira sighed, well she didnt want Neko wrapped around her and pulling her down if they did go, so she threw up her arms, laced her fingers together above her head and smiled. "Time for a dip~." And with that she threw down her arms and aimed for Nekos gut.

Sharp icy knives, unable to breath. her body refusing to move and screaming in pain. Everything was the same except for the fact she didnt panic. She looked up tp the surface of the water and watched the light play off it along with the ice. Her body wanted to give and she felt the weakness set in. At least Neko wasnt wrapped around her anymore and she easily tapped into her soul light this time and replaced it. That wouldnt matter though because her body was more then worn out this time. Ishira looked down at herself, her beaten body all bruised and throbbing in pain. The ice water had felt good for only a small amount of time. Then it washed away every inch of anger and fight in her and allowed her to feel the extent of each pain. She kicked her legs lightly, or tried to, but they didnt move as quickly as she wanted. Her pulse was slowing and she realized that the technique was only keeping her alive, not helping her fight. She frowned and demanded that her legs moved again. Again it was slow but it moved her, even the slightest bit, closer to the surface.

It wasnt that she didnt want to fight when he grabbed her, it was that she couldnt. When he pulled her out, she cut off of the soul light and pratically went limp. She pulled herself together quickly though, fighting through the pain and now shivering cold to push herself weakly away from him. It wouldnt work, her muscles refused to put any power behind them so it was more like she was nudging him, like a child did when they wanted to be put down. When they reached the edge and he collapsed she grabbed for anything but him. He was going to hurt her, she needed to get away or fight and being close wasnt going to work right now. It wasnt until he laughed and she was on her stomach propped up by one arm as she reached for a stick with the other, did she stop. She looked over her shoulder to him, watched his body struggle with breathing and then turned back to him. The ringing had dulled almost completely now and she heard him speak with a bit of surprise running across her face. It was over? She let out a sharp painful laugh, before tucking her arms in to cover her breasts and then lay her head down on the ground. Wincing she moved her bad arm out from under her weight and up above her head to frame it.
"You demanded me to fight.. I responded, though i will say some of the things you did were quite... risky?" Ishira thought about it, would she have wanted it any other way? No, not really.. "Nevermind... It was what was needed..." Her voice was weak, but it didnt crack like the first time, and though her chest and body hurt, it wasnt bad. At least, not compared to the first time and then again she had been hurt pretty bad by Neko... She sighed, well what didnt kill you made you stronger?

Ishira shivered and forced herself up into a sitting position as she waited for Neko to return. She took in deep rattling breaths and looked back at the water she had just come from. She would do anything not to go back into that water... A small gust of wind sent chills down her spine and tangled her hair. If she hadnt been cold enough, that did it. She closed her eyes again, finding it hard to keep them open, and let the chills take her for a moment before Neko appeared once again. She jumped up at the chance of some warmth and rushed the robe on her, carefully avoiding any touch of Nekos skin to hers. She couldnt say that with the pain and everything that had happened, that she would be able to keep her mind straight now that she wasnt fighting for her human life. She noticed though, that his hand was to his gut.
"s**t, here i heal you and then i hit you in the spot that you were ingured before... Maybe linas right, maybe ive strayed..." She was tempted to touch it but she shook her head and stumbled a foot or two away from him. "You were stuck in between a rock and hard place? Do you have any idea how many times i was unsure id be able to get outa the hell you had me in? Hell, you attacked the things you knew made me weak..." She felt her face flush, felt the warmth and put her hands up to it. At least her blood wasnt as cold as the rest of her body....

"Hundreds..." Ishira sighed and looked down. She crandled her injured arm close to her as she shivered. How was he so dry? When they had just been in the water? She looked back at him and then cocked abrow. He was a curious thing, which was probably why her fox had taken interest... Then again, she wasnt her fox right now... She was human, and she felt emotions now, rather then just the lust before. That was a bit irritating...

"Im only just under four hundred and... seventy years? Yes about that... I may have done well to you, but for me i feel i need more work. I would have done things Neko... I would have given if i had been weaker and i wont accept that. Yes ive used... Lust and this body to my advantage in my years, but it doesnt mean i can control it when it comes to when i lust. I havent lusted in years.. And now that i know its not my fox, im even more confused on it..." Ishira shivered again and that was enough for her to walk up to him and give off a small pout. "Why the hell are you so dry?"
